    Cyber & Regulation Consulting

    Expert answers before expensive mistakes. Our consulting practice gives you senior, vendor-neutral guidance on product security, architecture decisions, ransomware readiness, and the regulatory obligations that apply to your business - delivered as clear recommendations your leadership can act on.

    Within the IPV methodology, this service delivers the GOVERN and COMPLY pillars.

    Why Cyber & Regulation Consulting Matters

    The most expensive security failures start as design and compliance decisions made without expert input. Getting the decision right the first time costs a fraction of fixing it later.

    Validate product and feature designs before they ship

    2

    Plan security architecture that scales with the business

    3

    Know exactly which regulations apply - and what they require

    5

    Give boards and investors defensible, documented answers

    Our Consulting Methodology

    How We Advise

    Context Before Recommendations

    Every engagement starts with your business model, data, customers, and obligations - recommendations are calibrated to your actual risk, not to a generic checklist.

    Evidence-Based Assessment

    We review designs, configurations, contracts, and documentation - and validate claims against reality before we put our name on a conclusion.

    Decision-Ready Outputs

    You receive options with trade-offs, costs, and a recommendation - in language your executives, board, and regulator can work with.

    Domains We Cover

    Consulting engagements span the full decision surface of a modern security program:

    Product & feature security reviews
    Security architecture planning
    Cloud & hybrid design reviews
    Identity & access strategy
    Data protection & privacy design
    Ransomware readiness & recovery
    Regulatory applicability & gaps
    Security budget & tooling decisions

    What Makes Our Consulting Different

    We operate as a trusted advisor - recommendations are framed in business impact, backed by evidence, and never tied to a product we sell.

    Vendor-Neutral by Design

    We don't resell technology. When we recommend a control, a product category, or an architecture, the only interest behind it is yours.

    Regulatory Fluency - Israel and EU

    Israeli Privacy Law, BoI 361, INCD guidance, NIS2, DORA, GDPR, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and the EU AI Act - mapped to what each one actually requires from an organization your size.

    Practitioner-Led

    The consultants who advise you run live security programs as vCISOs, respond to incidents, and defend audits - advice comes from practice, not from slideware.

    Ransomware Readiness Expertise

    Our ransom readiness audits test detection, containment, backup isolation, and recovery capability against real attack conditions - before an attacker does.

    Scope Clarity in Writing

    Every engagement states exactly what is reviewed, what is delivered, and what is out of scope - before you commit.

    Platform Continuity

    Findings, decisions, and roadmaps live in CISOteria - so advisory output becomes a managed program, not a PDF that goes stale.

    How the Engagement Works

    Every engagement follows a structured delivery model - anchored in the IPV methodology (GOVERN · ASSESS · PROTECT · COMPLY · RESPOND) and ensuring clarity, accountability, and measurable outcomes at each stage.
